What reviewers say
“A very acceptable Cali cab with everything one could expect from this respected maker. Nice floral nose, beautiful deep red color, ripe cherry fruit with a bit of tannin and blueberry. A cab blended to be drunk now…But could it benefit from a few more years in the cellar? The possibility of the subtle chocolates, vanillas and roasted chili’s exist for future exploration. Enjoyable with mesquite grilled porterhouse, asparagus, oyster mushrooms, roasted potatoes, onions and ramp butter.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Geyser Peak Cabernet Sauvignon lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 995.
